Music Theory Q/A

3/8, 6/8, and 12/8 time - This would most likely be your jazz beats. 3/8 indicates 3 eighths to a measure, 6/8 indicates 6 eighth notes to a measure, etc.
Pulse goes similar to 3/4; {Strong, weak, weak}, (optional bar line) {medium, weak, weak}, (optional bar line) {medium-strong, weak, weak}, {medium, weak, weak}*.
Sample Piece: Super Mario 3D Land - Jazzy Overworld

I'm sorry, but I must protest. Jazzy Overworld is not 12/8. It is in 4/4 with swung quavers. Jazz, particularly big band swing (which is the style of this piece) rarely uses 12/8. Furthermore, the current arrangement of Jazzy Overworld currently on the site (by fingerz) is in 4/4 with swung quavers. Some VG piece which do use 12/8 and 6/8 include:

Anyways, Craggy Coast includes 5/4 and 6/4.
